10 Facts you need to know about the POWER9 S924 CPUs:
Nigel Griffiths presents 10 useful facts about performance, history and architecture of IBM's Power9 S924 System CPUs. Nigel works for IBM Advanced Technology Support, Europe. His job is to promote IBM Power Systems, PowerVM and AIX Technology. He not an IBM spokesperson. All opinions are his own.
1) 1 or 2 sockets for 1 or 2 POWER9 Chips
2) Each POWER9 Chip has 8, 10 or 12 CPU cores
3) 2 socket servers have 16, 20 or 24 CPU cores
4) Each CPU core runs 8 programs at a time (SMT=8)
5) The server runs 192 programs at the same time
6) Each POWER9 chip has 8 billion transistors
7) Lithography 14nm – that really really small!
8) Compared to POWER8 - 40% to 47% faster
9) POWER9 chip run at 3.9 to 4.0 GHz
10) S924 = 4U + S922 = 2U (slightly less cores)
